    Over 430 Temporary Teachers Recruited Amid Ongoing Teachers’ Strike

    As of today The Teaching Service Comission has recruited over 430 temporary teachers as replacement efforts of the 600 plus teachers on suspension and termination following their industrial strike concerning their unpaid claims with the government.

    The acting chairman of the Teaching Service Comission, Hardison Tabi confirmed this at a Press Conference on Sunday the 2nd of February.

    Despite multiple requests for a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) by the Vanuatu Teachers Union (VTU) to the Government, Mr Tabi said there’s no longer need to sign a CBA with the VTU , saying the government decision last year in approving over 4 Billion Vatu to address 4 years claims of VTU members have ‘overwrite’ the dialogue of reaching a CBA.

    The Vanuatu Teachers Union Secretary General, Jonathan Yonah has stated last week that reaching a CBA with the government is the only way the union would release its member back in the classrooms.

    Mr Yonah empathized that addressing this ‘injustices’ is not only for the benefit of VTU members but also for the next generation to come.
